Founded in 1962 by the then Cloverdale Merchants Association. Home games commenced playing at an outdoor rink at the base of Shaver Avenue in Central Etobicoke until the mid 1960’s then relocated to the outdoor rink at Burnhamthorpe and the West Mall hence the name that remains till this day. When the indoor rink Etobicoke Centennial opened in 1968 this became the permanent home for games and the outdoor rink was kept for practice currently for the House League.

West Mall played initially in the EHA with a strong House League of over 700 players and today’s version of A rep hockey against other Etobicoke based organizations like Royal York, Alderwood, Faustina, Martingrove, North Etobicoke, St Benedict’s etc. In the City amalgamation of hockey, West Mall joined the MTHL which later grew to the GTHL which the league is a member. Initially the Rep teams played in green and gold as the Wolves until the 1990’s when the Rep teams became the Lightning with blue, silver and white and the league was granted AA status in some divisions and even had a Juvenile AAA team.

The elected Boards of Directors have always been a stable group and although the current group averages 20 plus years of service per person many who had the opportunity to work with the founding fathers of the club, Bernie Ginger, Ralph Currie, Harold Birch and Charlie Cromwell to name a few. Where the pride and values established continues.

West Mall as an organization participates in many community based fund raisers such as an annual food bank drive at Christmas, individual teams often participate in community based programs an example being this year’s Pee Wee A team which won the Chevrolet Good Deed Cup for their work in supporting the Parkdale Community Food Bank

For over 20 years West Mall further supports our players long term growth by offering up to 4 Scholarships for Post Secondary education for both House League and Rep players each year. Each players who qualifies is awarded $500.00.

West Mall has also waived existing House League players’ registration fees upon family tragedy (example death of a parent) in order to lessen the burden.
